This hike follows the Wilhite Trail down the west side of the Island in the Sky mesa to the White Rim Road. Along the way are a rolling mesa dotted with trees, a big descent between dramatic red cliffs, a colorful plateau with views of nearby buttes and a long stroll down an eroded red wash. At the end there's a slot canyon that can be explored. Despite all it has to offer this trail seems less frequently used than others nearby. Be sure to bring enough food and water for the long return climb.
